The Patrons: Unreliable Narrator

September 18, 2025 - March 1, 2026 Admission

An innovative initiative designed to empower and support emerging artists; The Patrons focus on the collaborative aspect of artmaking by building networks of support. Their work fosters a community where artists can thrive through mentorship, shared knowledge, and reciprocal exchange. Their approach helps to cultivate new spaces for artistic innovation while nurturing the next generation of voices in the art world. The exhibition will feature the work of Bryce Holt, whose story-driven pop surrealism is described in his artist statement below.

“My art is driven by narrative. Before a single brushstroke touches canvas, a story begins to unfold in my mind. As a self-taught, figurative artist, I blend the color and energy of pop art with the dreamlike qualities of surrealism. Each painting is an invitation to explore, to bring out each person’s internal storyteller through vibrant hues and unexpected juxtapositions. Accompanying each piece is a written narrative, a glimpse into the world I envisioned as I created the work. However, I encourage viewers to embrace their own interpretations and to allow their imaginations to travel wherever the art may lead them. My goal is to transport the audience to an alternate world, spark conversation and contemplation, and inspire us to embrace the unexpected.” -Bryce Holt
